XP boot disk?

[Mrmeola]

I recieved a memory error on shutdown and clicked cancel accidently...causing a checksum error on some files...I am trying to replace these files manually (xp preloaded no OS disk)

Is it possible to make a boot disk for xp (floppy or cd) to give me root access to disk? Recovery console only allows access to C:\windows\*.

I have tried using
ntldr
ntdetect.com
boot.ini

boot.ini consists of this

[boot loader]
timeout=30
Default= multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows="Windows XP&quot

on a floppy and seems to work to an extent...hal.dll is corrupt...Tried win98 boot disk but doesn't read NTFS drive. any advise?

Sorry for the long post

Thanks
E
